Why Wasn't Acting Governor Of Taraba State Garba Umar Recognized Like Others? by Nobody: 9:36am On Aug 01, 2014 |
At the Victim Support Fund raising dinner last night, state governors like Rochas Okorocha of Imo, Adams Oshiomole of Edo, Jonah Jang of Plateau and two or three deputy governors present were specially recognized but Acting Governor of Taraba State, Garba Umar was not even while physically present. I saw the man shifting uncomfortably in his seat feeling embarrassed possibly while his colleagues were being recognized. I assume perhaps the MC wasn't informed of his presence but then I could be wrong. Who knows why. |

Descartes: That's a good questionI felt for the guy really. You can imagine not being recognized in the midst of your colleagues. At a point I felt like snatching the mic from the MC to shout his name but of course I was over 700kms away from Abuja. |

APContherun:That's Dajuma factor, They still see him as Deputy though, But majority of the populace including the elites in the state and his party stalwarts see him as a 'traitor'. |

Descartes:Yeaa you could be right about the Danjuma's factor, I never thought of that you know? But frankly that guy is taking Taraba State 6 years back. |

APContherun:Danjuma is a political godfather, He determines who controls Taraba. |

Descartes:Not exactly so bro. He's a godfather somehow but none of his anointed sons like Obadiah Ando, Baba Adi etc have made it to the govt house in Jalingo. Nyame/Danbaba Suntai fought him to a standstill little wonder he doesn't have much pity for Suntai in his travails. He may still become the godfather he so wishes under Jonathan. |

APContherun: You're right though but he still calling the shots in Taraba state politics, Very tricky man, you still renember his dealings during the Military era |

Ifa, Google, Okorocha, GEJ, APC, PDP or Dambaba Suntai? . Last Bullet The man didn't know how to do notice me. Like standing up at intervals, openly greeting other state governors & important dignatries, adjusting his dress, cap or seat, calling on the waiters or service people there. I v a Phd in gate-crashing parties, getting noticed & treated well at events. |
